If only they had an online portal we could log into and upload the forms and evidence and check on the progress! That would cut all those unnecessary phone calls and be able to employ more caseworkers!! Aahhhh why do the gov make everything so backwards!!

Just been on Facebook and seen so many February COCs coming through the last couple of days, let’s hope we hear something soon 😩

Yeah apparently they are taking the full 25 weeks but some are waiting past that date... I don't get why I received a random text.. Sent my MR in March they received it 4/4, sent extra evidence beginning of June called to see if received and it has been but I've never got a text of them to acknowledge the MR so was confused why I got a random text 17 weeks into the MR..
Mine won't be done for another 8 weeks or so.. Hopefully you hear something soon.. Good luck 🍀

Edited

We've already been waiting 27 weeks and 2 days and apparently no time scale to when it will be done now 😩 such a long wait is t it her inital claim was sent in 49 weeks ago now

I say this all the time! We wouldn’t be so stressed if we could check the progress of the claim x

LocoCoco13 · 31/07/2025 23:35

When you ring to check progress of claims what do you ask for? Just tell them you want an update? Sorry If thats a stupid question i have really bad anxiety so I have to script any phone calls like this 😂

For middle rate care youd get the lower component for disabled child element which is 158.76

Haze87 · 01/08/2025 09:28

I just called now he said same as they always do
I said how come some people on FB have a scan date for Feb for an MR and have been done before if it’s date order, he said that’s not correct it’s def done in date order!
I said well it’s clearly not 😂
He said they are working hard to catch up on back log.
@s39 @Meglee93 @Beckallf
Any Update for you 3? We are all 22/1 I think
I was praying would be this week
Will be on another thread soon 😭😭

Sophhiiee89 · 01/08/2025 09:32

MR 14/05
I sent evidence in tried to phone to see if it's been uploaded on the system to be told we didn't phone so we're not sure why your calling so please don't contact us again we will be in touch 😂🤔
I did state there's evidence I would like to make sure has made it through to yourselfs and got hung up on 🤢🤔
I guess I'm on the waiting journey with everyone else x
